Articles - Pokémon types Ground-type Pokémon are resistant to Poison- and Rock-type attacks, are immune to Electric-type attacks, and are vulnerable to Ice-, Grass-, and Water-type attacks. In the first three Pokémon games, versions Red, Blue, and Yellow, Psychic-type Pokémon were immune to Ghost-type attacks, and Psychic-type attacks were super-effective against the only three Ghost-type Pokémon in the game at the time (the Gastly evolution chain) because of their dual Ghost-and-Poison-types. Dark-type Pokémon are resistant to Dark- and Ghost-type attacks, are immune to Psychic-type attacks, and are vulnerable to Bug- and Fighting-type attacks. www.furniture-center.net /articles/Rock_Pokémon

Got Water? Crop Thirst Depends on Soil Type Growers should keep in mind that soil types have varying water capacity depths and different layers of soil types that affect root growth, especially during a period of dry weather. Once a grower knows what type of soil(s) his field has, he can then determine the water holding capacity and use that number as a guide for calculating the water needs of his crop. The first step to realizing a soil's water capacity is to understand the type of soil one is dealing with. extension.osu.edu /~news/story-print.php?id=2226   (919 words)

FEMP Energy-Efficient Products: How to Buy an Energy-Efficient Gas Water Heater The recommended model is a 40 gallon storage-type with and EF of 0.62 and the best available is a demand-type water heater with a flow rate of 4.0 gallons per minute (at a 70°F temperature rise) and an EF of 0.85.

Operation of Steam Locomotive Type Boilers and their Associated Fittings The H, and H/J types are both fitted with a steam controlled water valve which is automatically opened when the injector steam valve is opened, making these injectors very simple to operate and less wasteful of feed water. The successful operation of any steam boiler is to regulate the firing rate, the fire and the height of the boiler water level at all times according to the work to be performed and to have full boiler pressure when it is required, without blowing off from the safety valves. Before operating the Blowdown valve the boiler water level must be high in the glass and have sufficient steam pressure to operate the injectors to be able to restore the water level when the valve is closed. www.watercressline.co.uk /tw/pages/mutual.htm   (9592 words)

The amount of runoff for differing conditions can be modeled through the use of this Internet application. www.shodor.org /master/environmental/water/runoff   (160 words)

How soil type affects management The proportion of soil occupied by pore space is its porosity and varies a great deal among soil types. Coarser, sandy soils, with their larger pore sizes, have higher hydraulic conductivity than fine, clay soils, which tend to be lower in oxygen and retain more water. Moist soil is more prone to compaction because when ample water is present in the soil, the particles can slip and slide past one another, making repositioning into a more compact state easier. grounds-mag.com /news/grounds_maintenance_soil_type_affects/index.html   (883 words)

Microhydro Information This type of turbine is less efficient than a standard crossflow, due to water flow passing beside and under the turbine. After passing through the turbine runner, the outgoing water drops through the bottom of the housing to return to the river or stream from which it came, making a very non-intrusive method for creating power from water. This type of turbine is a relatively high-rpm device which can drive an electrical generator directly, without the need for a speed-increasing gear drive. www.windstreampower.com /microhydro/hydroinfo.html   (483 words)

Dutch Submarines: The torpedoes and mines of the Dutch submarine service Preset operating depths are 200, 150, 100, and 40 ft. The anti-capture (anti surface-homing, tested in 1966) circuits are disabled when the torpedo runs below 200 ft in deep water or when it is homing passively. The torpedo can be set to run at constant depth (40, 100, 150,or 200 ft) while homing (before terminal manoeuvres), when above 100 ft depth in deep water, or when in shallow water. None of the British submarines were equipped with torpedo tubes long enough to carry this torpedo, therefore these torpedoes were transferred to the Dutch submarine service. www.dutchsubmarines.com /specials/special_torpedoes_mines.htm   (3441 words)

Pawsrus Kennel DOT Com breed info page In the past all cattle working dogs were called Bouvier (bovine herder) and each region throughout the area had it's own type from ancient rough coated working stock, these dogs were prized as drovers and guardians. Fossils of the breed type (1800-1000 BC) discovered by the French nobility before the revolution (like the maremma in Italy) they could be found guarding the large chateaux in Southern France. Chinese Shar-pei's attributes it's background to the Nordic genes and perhaps others, like the chow type dogs, possibly crossed with western mastiffs on the early trade routes. www.pawsruskennel.com /breedinfo.htm   (973 words)

Probert Encyclopaedia: Machine Guns (M) It was adopted by the Russian army in 1905, using a bronze water jacket changed for a corrugated jacket similar to the type used by the Vickers machine-gun in 1910. The gun originally appeared as a water-cooled anti-aircraft machine-gun, but in the 1930s the M2 air-cooled version was developed for use on tanks. The Maxim MG'08 was a classic German recoil operated, water-cooled machine gun produced from 1908 to 1918, serving with the German army through the Great War and some seeing action at the start of the Second World War. www.probertencyclopaedia.com /FMJ.HTM   (1949 words)

Kyogre - free-definition Keep in mind that, as a Water-elemental, Kyogre gets STAB (same type attack bonus) when using Water-based attacks. However, it is a Bug/Ghost type, so many Kyogres use the attack Ancientpower to defeat it. Kyogre learns several very powerful Water and Ice-based attacks, including one called Sheer Cold that attempts to knock out the opponent in one fell swoop regardless of its remaining health. www.free-definition.com /Kyogre.html   (1949 words)

AstroSignature: Extremes of Air in the Chart Their physical reaction to unassimilable ideas or to new types of people jolts them to such an extent that they either get physically ill or lash out irrationally in an effort to eliminate the source of this threatening thought. For their part, the air sings don't want to be confined by the limitations of the earth, nor do they wish to have their light freedom saturated by the feelings and reservations of the water signs. And, of course, the water and earth signs are the most likely to devalue the air signs' ideas, for those ideas don't usually meet the test of emotional depth or practicality that water and earth insist upon. www.astrodatabank.com /AS/ASAir.htm   (1949 words)

Water heater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tank-type water heaters can be made more efficient by installation of additional insulation jackets around the tank, flow valve devices at their inlet and outlet, cycle timers, electronic ignition (in the case of fuel-using models), sealed air intake systems (in the case of fuel-using models), and pipe insulation. These water heaters heat the water as the water flows through the device, and do not retain any water internally except for what is in the pipe. In British English, water heaters are known as boilers,or "Geysers"(pronounced Geezers), feeding a separate hot water tank. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Water_heater   (185 words)

The Good Earth Soils with a heavy clay component are not good for just the opposite reason: They are hard to wet, equally hard to dry, and water and nutrients are so often tightly bonded to the clay at the molecular level that plants are unable to tap them through their roots. The number of sand particles in your soil is important because the gaps between sand particles allow for water and nutrients to pass easily. Soil consists principally of two things: a small quantity of organic matter (about 3 to 5 percent) and a mixture of eroded rocks and other minerals. magazines.ivillage.com /countryliving/garden/your/articles/0,,284660_543301-2,00.html   (621 words)

CuisineNet Cafe: Gin & Tonics When mixed with tonic water, "Most people are oblivious to any specific type of gin," confirms Mario Hernandez, a pro of a bartender at the picturesque Boathouse Cafe in Central Park. Tonic water is a diluted form of quinine, an extract of the cinchona nitida tree bark from Java which was used to fight malaria parasites and alleviate fever and pain. Yet gin and tonics are an acquired taste, he says, "and the type of people who order them are more professional and drink-conscious." Even though he feels the brand of gin is not that important, it's "Tanq and tonic, Tanq and tonic,\" he hears all day long (referring to Tanqueray). www.cuisinenet.com /cafe/strong_waters/1996/00002-1.html   (429 words)
